I bet they don't mind the timed exclusive CoD stuff though.

They'll get over it.

Completely different situation



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Your english seems spot on to me and I understand you fully. 

Since you insist though that this thread is about people paying the same amount of money for less then I will drop it. Since I can't argue with that and that is bad for anyone.

I still stand by one thing though... this whole DLC or exclusive content or timed this or that as a way of making multiplatform games "better" on one coneole as opposed to another.... were all started by MS. They started this. Once upon a time multiplats were just that, the same game released on different platforms. But it wasn't enough for MS to jut get the games on their platform, they wanted to make sure that there version of the game was the best one to get. Even if it was nothing more than a test of patience. Point is, what we are seeing today is the ugly face of th ebaby MS birthed last gen. And its going to get worse. For all fans..... or hopefully just stops.


Well, it wasn´t just Microsoft, developers and publisher jumped right on that boat.

It´s the case of "better one bird in my hand than two flying".

MS and Sony paid front hand than the developers have money to work while diminishing their risk. The same thing aplies to retailer exclusive pre-order bonus.

The costs of next generation "demand" those kind of agreament.

CoD is one month, Destiny is a whole year and will segregate content for people paing the same price.

This is far far worst. It´s not just one extra hour of game play like Assassins Creed or Joker in Batman AA.

 Destiny is a quasy MMO a long run adventure set in an ever expanding universe.

They are pissing off Xbox owners (remember the 50mi active 360 users?) for some obscure reason. 

And GTA4 360 dlc was forever. Till this day you still cannot getthe GTA4 DLC on PS3. So what were you saying about something being far worse again?

And the GTA core fanbase was on the PS2, the tens of millions of people that guranteed the continual success of their IP, yet it wasn't obscure when they decided to piss on them, hell if i recall everyone thought GTA4 coming to the 360 and even getting exclusive dlc was a great victory. Now that i think of it, this is pretty much sony taking a page directly outta MS handbook, though nowhere near as harsh.

I will say again, its one thing if any of this is new, but it isn't and this whole nonsense was started by MS to begin with and their fans didn't seem to mind thorugh out last gen, hell even now you don't see them having an issue with CoD dlc or evolve dlc exclusivity. So again, anyone that doesn't like it should either shut up or just deal with it or both. 

isnt this the dlc for gta 4? http://www.rockstargames.com/thelostanddamned/index.html?ref=index2.html if so it says right there ps3

I cant beleive how many idiots in this thread are saying:"XBONE did it last gen get over it."(Sony did it last gen too) Really; go get an education or something, quit gaming.

Activision is selling the same DLC to 2 different customer bases at the same time for the same price and giving one a lesser product. Let that soak in. To be fair if Activision gives away this content away for free in the future(to those that purchased the DLC), its all good. If they charge another $5-$10 for it, they are screwing (MS)customers and if it becomes a success it will be another shit story for gaming and other games will follow.

Literally dozens of uninformed posts, how can there be so many idiots concentrated in one thread.

I dont think youre being fair here.

Not all Xbox 360 owners (Example - Me) were gloating and mocking when the 360 ended up getting a whole bunch of big-game timed DLC. I disliked it just as much then as I do now. I think its the worst thing to come out of Gen 7, and I think the whole "laughing" at the people who have to wait is just a completely shitty thing to do.


no, I am probably not.. but I am generalizing the situation.  I disliked and don't agree with the exclusivity deals set last gen also.. even moreso than what's happening this gen, but it is what it is.  The fact of the matter is, the wheels have been turned on this and it doesn't look like it will ever stop, considering how publishers can make alot of money off selling things like this apart from the game itself.  Even last gen, when I knew I was going to be missing out on some content or get timed delays for content, I just dealt with it.. I don't see why it's hard for the majority on the xbox community to do the same.  sure it's a year long wait, but it's not like it won't eventually come to the xbox platform.  And it's not just Destiny at the moment that will come with timed DLCs..  MS is continuing the trend with the COD timed exclusives, Evolve timed exclusives, BF timed exclusives, PVZ timed release, buying 3rd party exclusivity, etc.  Why shouldn't Sony start doing the same for their gamerbase?  it wasn't like the exclusivity stuff released on the xbox couldn't of be available for the ps at the same time.  also, had Sony not bought the exclusivity, i'm sure MS would of, but seeing that MS went and put their eggs into other/the same baskets, this gave Sony an opportunity to put their eggs into Destiny.  Just so happens at this point in time, Sony's investment looks like it'll pay off big time compared to where MS went.

And yes, laughting at the people who have to wait is shitty.  but im not laughing.. im just not sympathizing, because unfortunately, it's part of the gaming landscape nowadays.  you win some, you lose some.. but hardly not anything worth "boycotting/pulling support for" a game for like what xb fans are threatening to do. 



Man.. I hate it when your girl has to leave my place to come back to you..

so what comes after this first we had timed dlc which is leading to timed dlc within dlc which could lead to timed dlc in timed dlc, exclusive dlc within dlc, exclusive dlc within timed dlc?

it's called a timed exclusivity deal..  You will get your DLCs.. but a small portion of content in the DLC itself is what's exclusive for a while.  Regardless of how it's structured.. it's still only timed exclusive features that shouldn't affect the core of the game.  Don't see how it's a lesser product just because it's not active on your end just yet.  two consoles which have the same paid DLC.. just one console gets it first.  how is that really hard to understand?  or are you mad because it's a year wait for the rest of the content?
